P. Diddy avoids felony charges in UCLA fight incident

P. Diddy was arrested on five charges last month after he allegedly attacked a UCLA strength and conditioning coach and swung a kettlebell at several people. Despite that, the music mogul will not be facing felony charges.

Law enforcement sources reportedly told the Los Angeles Times that prosecutors decided not to file felony charges in part because Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, waved the kettlebell at several people and no one was seriously injured. The case has now been referred to the L.A. city attorney to determine if Diddy will face misdemeanor charges.

Diddy’s attorney, Mark Geragos, says his client never should have been arrested in the first place.
